Sorry for the OT post, I own a few 712/100 boxes and was wondering what
they would be worth? and if any one here would be interested in buying a
couple of them?
Thanks,
Chris.

Check ebay, I seem to remember them going for ~$100 with ram and disk.

Ebay prices for older parisc kit seem to have basically doubled since
Linux on parisc began to work well. Annoying but I think a great project

i've got 5 712/60's now - got the 1st one for $25 with 1Gb/96Mb
the shop i got it from had 120 of them - the guy didnt know what they were &
i knew was that they 'might run linux' :)
once i had mastered the remote boot part & installed my 1st machine, i
offered to show the guy how to 'linux em up'
i got the other 4 machines for my time :)
interesting part was - when i was showing the guy how to set it up, somebody
came in the shop & asked what he was wanting for one ..... the price had
went up to $50
so it looks like the price doubling theory is holding true...
this is the best non x86 linux port i've installed - its the first one that
actually feels like it belongs on the machine rather than having shoe horned
it into a machine that doesnt seem to want it, if you see what i mean :)

No imagine how much the guy could take if he'd bundle the CD with the
boxes!
